So Obscure, so pure! This time for Epic Songs for Monday, a surprise: "Hard Time Blues" by Lane Hardin

This is the history of the Blues!

Now, it's hard time, baby, hard times everywhere I go

Hard times, baby-baby, hard times everywhere I go

Now, these people keep cryin' 'bout hard times, they comin' more and more

Now, I don't even see what these poor people is going to do

Now, I can't see what these poor, these poor people is going to do

Keep cryin' about these hard times and they coming more and more

Now, I went to the factory this morning, where I had work ten years ago

And I went to the factory this morning, where I had work ten years ago

And the bossman told me that they ain't hiring here no more

Hard times, boy, and it's hard times everywhere I go

Hard times, boy, hard times everywhere I go

These people keep crying 'bout hard times, and there's no work in here to do

Now, if I was a bluebird, mama, had my trunk packed on my back

Hey, if I was a bluebird, had my trunk packed on my back

I would fly away from this town, mama, and I'd swear I would never come back
